And still does
Like the above post, I don't mind so much, but my wife would hate it (if she knew).
My wife is a little stuck up sometimes and really doesn't like our neighbour (Tony) 2 doors down. I get on fine with him, but there's something she doesn't like about him - possibly because he is a bit more rough around the edges than the majority on our street. She is always making comments to me about him as if he doesn't deserve to live there. It may have something to do with her being in the same class as his son when she was at school - by all accounts, I don't think they got on.
I work from home, and one day in the summer, saw a security company installing cameras on his property, including one at the end of his garden, looking back towards his house (he fixes up and sells motorbikes for a living, so wanted to keep the perimeter secure).
As I was watching, something occurred to me, so next time I saw him out front, I contrived a reason to pop around, and mentioned the cameras, saying I was thinking of getting some.
He was more than happy to talk about them and showed me how he can access them from his phone, move them, zoom in and out etc and scrolled through the different locations he had, front porch, garage, side alley, back garden etc.
I asked to have a go, so he gave me his phone and I had a play, whilst he continued working on his bike.
I found the camera facing his house and went to live view. Within seconds, I was able to zoom in to the bedroom window of our house. It was so clear, I could see the details of the picture hanging on the wall.
Now, our house backs on to a forest, and as we don't have any neighbours behind us, we rarely close the curtains as my wife likes to take in the view each morning.
When we moved in, it was something that I highlighted to her, (that no one would be able to look in unless they were stood at the very end of the garden) and as on one side we have a little old lady that lives on her own and the other side a guy that travels 3 weeks out of 4, she thinks nothing of standing naked by the window as she does her makeup each morning.
When I realised Tony had a perfect set up to spy on my wife, I froze, unsure whether to call him out on it, or ask him to put in a privacy shield to block the view.
I ended up doing nothing and since then, my wife must have stood naked at that window over a hundred times.
Every time I watch her standing there, I wonder if she is being captured by Tony to watch back at a later stage.
When I'm feeling particularly bad, I imagine he has shared the videos with his son and there are two people that she hates that have seen her naked breasts swaying as she brushes her hair, or leans over to put her makeup on.
